About Me
I'm Paola, a Software Engineer with a passion for art.
Surprisingly,
being a Software Engineer and an artist share
common threads.
As a Software Engineer, I design ideas into functional concepts,
much like an artist's creative process. Both crafts
involve transforming inspiration into masterpieces using the
tools
at hand.
I relish the journey from idea to concept to creation, embracing
adaptability in the ever-evolving tech industry.
Its unpredictability fuels my love for constant learning.
What truly captivates me, whether as an artist or Software
Engineer,
is the process, the learning, and the end
result. I thrive in teams that share these values.
Art
Art possesses the unique ability to infuse beauty into
everything.
I'm someone who revels in crafts that engage my
imagination. You might occasionally spot me sketching, painting,
experimenting with colors, or even crafting a book.
Yes, a book!
Art serves as my refuge, a space where I meditate and let my
creativity soar. It's my sanctuary. What's
yours?
Among the many remarkable artists, my favorite is Oscar-Claude
Monet. There's something profoundly captivating about
his works, especially "The Water Lilies."

Books
I have a deep love for learning, and I've found that reading and
researching offer invaluable opportunities for
growth. Over the years, I've immersed myself in a diverse range
of
books, spanning hardcovers, paperbacks, Kindles,
and audiobooks. Among the multitude of books I've explored, a
select
few have left a lasting impact, imparting
meaningful lessons.

Fiction
Software Programming
Technology
Within the realm of technology, I'm deeply engrossed in
exploring diverse facets, from System Design and Engineering
Principles to Frontend and Backend concepts.
I'm at my best when my work centers around creating enriching
user experiences through feature development. I
gravitate towards disciplined software engineering practices
like automated testing, code reviews, and the crafting
of elegant, readable code. In my view, simplicity is the path to
perfection.
Despite my unwavering commitment to producing clear and reliable
code, I acknowledge that there's always room for
growth. As a Software Engineer, humility is a core value,
recognizing the boundaries of what you know and what you
don't. Teamwork lies at the core of software engineering.
Colleagues provide valuable perspectives that may be overlooked,
emphasizing the significance of giving and receiving
constructive criticism and guidance.
Music
There is nothing more challenging than finding your rythm and
flow
when
trying to study or code. This
is a playlist I
created aimed to help me focus. There are no lyrics to distract.
